Political Correctness Gone Mad
Freddy Woo writes: "I once worked on an animation to help highlight the issues homeless people face in winter. The client was happy with the work, then a note came back that the ethnic mix of the characters were wrong. These were cartoon characters. They weren't meant to be ethnically anything, but we were forced to make one of them brown, at the cost of about 10k to the charity. This is how your donations are spent. Wisely as you can see."

Council Emails
I work for a council in the West Midlands and every day we get these emails circulated telling you pointless rubbish like the the email system will be down for 2minutes at 3am on the 25th of December.
Anyway, last week there was an email informing council employees that there was a special Road Safety Course for Ethnic Minorities ONLY on such and such a date. So you're saying ethnic minorities can't cross roads and need to be taught how to?

:haha:
Given the lack of road sense I've seen in my fellow Asians, I'd say yes.
